The NFL regular season is nearly two-thirds of the way complete as we enter Week 12. While the playoff races are starting to take over the talk of the league, the injury reports are also piling up as all 32 teams enter the home stretch.
Let's take a look at how each NFL team is faring from a health standpoint. Below is a rundown of every team's initial injury report entering this week's games.
Cornerback Marshon Lattimore hasn't practiced since joining the Commanders and once again didn't practice Friday. He will be out against the Cowboys. The Chiefs will once again be without running back Isiah Pacheco, despite reports that he was expected to be back.

Kansas City Chiefs (-11) at Carolina Panthers
- Chiefs: RB Isiah Pacheco (ankle), DE Charles Omenihu (knee) OUT
- Panthers: OLB Jadeveon Clowney (knee), DE LaBryan Ray (hand), WR Adam Thielen (hamstring), LB DJ Johnson (concussion), RB Jonathon Brooks (knee), LB D.J. Wonnum (quadriceps), K Eddie Pineiro (left knee), WR Jalen Coker (quadriceps) QUESTIONABLE; LB Amare Barno (knee) DOUBTFUL; RB Miles Sanders (ankle) OUT
The Panthers had a lengthy injury report this week. Kicker Eddy Pineiro, who is the league's most accurate kicker of all-time, is questionable after not practicing Friday. Running back Miles Sanders is the only player out ahead of Sunday, as he didn't practice all week, while wide receiver Adam Thielen was limited all week and is questionable.
The Chiefs were expected to get running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle) back this week, but the team announced he is out. With a short week ahead of them -- they play the Raiders on Black Friday -- the Chiefs' coaches and trainers felt it was best for Pacheco to remain sidelined, despite him being healthy enough to play. Charles Omenihu (IR) is also out.
Minnesota Vikings (-3.5) at Chicago Bears
- Vikings: OLB Gabriel Murphy (knee), TE Nick Muse (hand) QUESTIONABLE; TE Josh Oliver (wrist/ankle) OUT
- Bears: OT Kiran Amegadjie (calf), RB D'Andre Swift (groin) QUESTIONABLE; OT Ryan Bates (concussion), SAF Elijah Hicks (ankle) OUT
The Vikings had quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) listed on the initial injury report, but he was a full participant Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday. He has no game designation. Running back Aaron Jones (ribs) was a full participant in practice all week and is clear to play.
A surprise to see running back D'Andre Swift on the injury report for the Bears, as he's battling a groin injury and is questionable. Swift did not practice Wednesday and was limited the rest of the week.

The Titans had quite a few players listed on the injury report. Cornerback L'Jarius Sneed and running rack Tyjae Spears are among those sidelined this Sunday.
For the Texans, pass rusher Will Anderson Jr. (ankle) was limited to start the week after he missed last week's game, but was a full participant Friday and has no game designation. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. was also limited Wednesday and Thursday, but improved as a full participant by Friday.
Detroit Lions (-7.5) at Indianapolis Colts
- Lions: CB Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (hamstring) OUT; CB Terrion Arnold (groin), CB Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) QUESTIONABLE

As you can see, the Lions are dealing with injuries at cornerback. Fortunately for them, Moseley was a full practice participant throughout the week. Arnold was a full participant Friday after being limited Thursday.
Tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee) was the only nonparticipant to start the week and he is officially listed as out. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis was a full participant, but is questionable.

- Dolphins: CB Kendall Fuller (concussion) OUT; OT Terron Armstead (knee), FB Alec Ingold (calf), G Isaiah Wynn (quad/knee), S Patrick McMorris (calf) QUESTIONABLE
It would almost be easier to name the Patriots who aren't on the injury report. With the exception of Barmore, every Patriot with a questionable designation was limited during Friday's practice. Gonzalez was limited Friday after not appearing on the injury report on Wednesday and Thursday.
For the Dolphins, Armstead didn't practice all week, while McMorris was questionable despite being a full practice participant all week. Ingold and Wynn were limited Friday.

All-Pro cornerback DaRon Bland is set to make his season debut after not getting an injury designation for Sunday. Also suiting up for the Cowboys is wideout CeeDee Lamb, who showed up on the injury report this week with back and foot injuries.
The Commanders will be without Marshon Lattimore, who hasn't practiced since he was traded to the team. Each of Washington's questionable players were full practice participants Friday.
Denver Broncos (-5.5) at Las Vegas Raiders
- Broncos: TBA
- Raiders: TBA
Broncos guard Ben Powers (shoulder) didn't practice in Denver on Wednesday while both safety Brandon Jones (abdomen) and edge rusher Zach Allen (vet rest day) were limited.
The injury bug is ripping through the Raiders at the moment with as many as eight players who didn't practice Wednesday: defensive back Jakorian Bennett (shoulder), tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle), cornerback Nate Hobbs (ankle), center Andre James (ankle), cornerback Jack Jones (back), running back Alexander Mattison (ankle), tight end Justin Shorter (illness) and running back Zamir White (quadricep). Center Cody Whitehair (ankle) was limited.

- Packers: LB Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring), CB Jaire Alexander (knee) OUT; DL Colby Wooden (shoulder) QUESTIONABLE
With Purdy out, veteran quarterback Brandon Allen will start in his place. Allen, 32, has attempted just three passes in a regular season game over the past three years. His last start in the NFL occurred in 2021 as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. Allen has nine career starts under his belt, going 2-7.
For the Packers, Eric Stokes is slated to start in place of Alexander. A former first-round pick, Stokes has made six starts this season.
